Outside St. Petersburg, the army of the Nordic lion Gustav was siegeing St. Petersburg. He was still enduring relatively inefficient trenchers and bombarding the walls of St. Petersburg.

"If there were bronze artillery, St. Petersburg had been captured by me."

Gustav looked up at the towering St. Petersburg walls. This strong fortress was really hard to conquer.

Olaf led the Yums team and cooperated with the catapult to attack St. Petersburg.

The Viking Bereaves of the Yums Chapter climbed the city wall and entered the rage directly, causing heavy losses to the St. Petersburg defenders!

The defenders of St. Petersburg could only rely on their number of advantages to block the Vikings Yums's battle, and the two sides fought on the city wall.

"It costs thirty soldiers to kill a berserker in the Ums Chapter."

The commander in charge of St. Petersburg's defense was Grand Duke Novgorod, who counted the casualties caused to the defenders by the Viking Beaters of the Yums Chapter.

After the berserkers of the Youms battle group entered the rage, the St. Petersburg defenders must destroy them at any cost, otherwise St. Petersburg may be compromised.

At least three hundred Viking Bearsmen were killed in the siege of the Yums, while tens of thousands of defenders of St. Petersburg fell directly under the Viking Bearsmen's tomahawks.

In order to repel the Viking hero Olaf, hundreds of defenders of St. Petersburg were killed by Olaf alone.

The St. Petersburg defenders were able to defend themselves with their numerical advantage.

A war eagle fell, leaving the iron eagle scout in St. Petersburg in advance, and immediately informed Novgorod.

"The Golden Horde has been destroyed by His Highness the Great Grand Duke of Moscow. It is only a matter of time to defeat Gustav, the lion of the north!"

"Reinforcements are about to arrive, and we will be able to win for a while!"

Grand Duke Novgorod summoned the defenders of St. Petersburg and announced to him that after pushing the Golden Horde, Ekaterina's main force had used a teleportation array to teleport some of its forces to a large city closest to St. Petersburg, and then marched towards St. Petersburg.

The defenders of St. Petersburg heard that the powerful enemy of the Golden Horde was finally defeated, and their morale was greatly boosted, and Caterina's prestige increased significantly.

Because of the morale of the St. Petersburg defenders increased, Gustav's attack on St. Petersburg did not go smoothly.

"It seems that the defenders of St. Petersburg have learned that the Golden Horde is destroyed and their reinforcements are coming. We have missed the opportunity. We lack bronze artillery..."

Gustav keenly sensed the rise of the morale of the St. Petersburg defenders, and St. Petersburg must have realized something.

At this time, the envoy of the Hun leader Attila had arrived.

Breda once again acted as an envoy, representing Attila, contacting all allies or vassal grand dukes.

"Gustav, Vitautas, Temujin has been defeated and is discussing with our Majesty to march westward. Our Majesty needs the ability of both of us to defeat Alexander."

Bleda met Gustav, the Swedish king who was attacking St. Petersburg, Vitautas, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, and Attila needed their abilities.

Even Alexander, Caesar, and the firearms legion were far inferior to Gustav.

"Temujin failed too quickly."

Gustav was very dissatisfied with the demise of the Golden Horde.

St. Petersburg was clearly right in front of him, but Gustav didn't have time to continue attacking St. Petersburg.

"There are proverbs in the East, one wins and one loses, military strategists are common, and the failure of the Golden Horde does not mean that we the Huns will fail. As long as we help our Majesty defeat Alexander, Constantine, Hohenzollern and other Western lords, our Majesty will give you the rewards you want after victory, land, population, gold and silver, and freedom."

“Is Attila’s promise really credible?”

Grand Duke Vitautas's personal freedom was controlled by Attila. He heard that Attila was willing to give him freedom, so he couldn't help but act.

Vitautas's every move is now being monitored by the Huns' generals.

Bleda said: "Our Majesty will never go back on his word and plunder the spoils of the Macedonian Kingdom and the Holy Roman Empire. We can even agree on a proportion of the divisions."

"I need a second military expenditure to maintain the expenses of sending troops."

Gustav asked for the second batch of military expenses from the Hun Empire represented by Breda.

Breda discovered that Gustav was similar to the mercenary and relied heavily on the gold and silver provided by the Hun Empire: "We will pay a price that satisfies you. Just defeat Alexander and the others, the gold you can get will be millions."

"withdraw troops."

After Gustav received the continuous military expenditure provided by the Hun Empire to maintain the Nordic army, he left a small group of troops to continue to siege the city and bluffed, causing the teleportation array in St. Petersburg to be invalidated. Then the army left St. Petersburg, retreated to Tallinn City, and used the fleet docked in the area of ​​Tallinn City to transport the troops back to the royal city of the Swedish Kingdom.

"One day, I will conquer St. Petersburg..."

Before leaving St. Petersburg, Gustav had a last look at the towering castle tower in St. Petersburg.

If he could get the manufacturing drawings of the bronze cannon and his siege ability was greatly enhanced, he would be able to capture this fortress that Catherine worked hard to manage.

The bronze cannon has not yet obtained such a powerful weapon for siege, a field battle that is more convenient than a counterweight trencher.

In Gustav's era, bronze cannons should be very popular. However, in "Lord", bronze cannons must have special firearms and weapons to use this kind of weapon. At the same time, bronze cannons produced by drawings must be specially made before they are recognized by the system.

"The Nordic Legion seems to have begun to retreat..."

The Grand Duke Novgorod, who defended St. Petersburg, was selected as the commander of one side and also had certain abilities.

Although Gustav stayed with a small team of troops to bluff, he was still noticed by the Great Duke of Novgorod that Gustav began to retreat.

"Go out of the city to defeat them, open the teleportation array, so that reinforcements can come and pursue them!"

The Grand Duke Novgorod had the strength of the fighting nation. He understood that Gustav left some of the troops to force the teleportation array to fail, making Ekaterina unable to teleport the main cavalry to pursue. So he immediately opened the city gate and personally commanded a team of Novgorod heavy infantry, leaving the city to attack the Nordic army left behind!

The gates of St. Petersburg were opened, and thousands of Novgorod heavy infantry holding spears in their hands, and long-handled battle axe rushed out of St. Petersburg and attacked the camps of the Swedish Kingdom!

However, what Gustav left behind was not an ordinary legion, but a brutal Yums battle!

When Grand Duke Novgorod saw the Viking Bereaves wearing Nordic helmets and wielding battle axes attacking the Nordic army, he couldn't help but regret leaving the city to attack the broken Nordic army.

Olaf personally led his troops to assault, threw a flying axe at his waist, and killed the enemy generals!

Grand Duke Novgorod was frightened when he saw his general being killed by Olaf with an axe, and his voice was trembling: "Retreat to the city!"

Thousands of Novgorod heavy infantry were defeated by the berserkers of the Yums team led by Olaf and chased them to the bottom of the walls of St. Petersburg. The defenders used crossbows to shoot and kill more than a dozen Viking berserkers of the Yums team. Only then did Olaf take his battle group to leave.

Even the Viking Bereaves cannot resist the attacks of the ballista or the catapults head-on. This is also the key to St. Petersburg's ability to defend.

Olaf was a little unwilling to give up. St. Petersburg was an insurmountable wall of his Yums battle.

"Nine hundred people died in battle."

Grand Duke Novgorod fled back to St. Petersburg, counting the number of people lost. The Novgorod heavy infantry equipped with exquisite armor was actually killed and injured by the Yums team.

The Grand Duke Novgorod, who was taught a lesson, dared not take the risk of leaving the city, continued to defend St. Petersburg, and waited patiently for the arrival of reinforcements.

After ensuring Gustav and Vitautas left, Olaf took the Yums team to retreat to the beach, pushed the Viking Pirates' dragon-headed warship into the sea, and rowed back to Nordic without panic.

Catherine and Chu Tian's cavalry arrived in St. Petersburg about two days later to rescue St. Petersburg.

With reinforcements arrived, the Nordic army had completely left, leaving behind a messy village outside St. Petersburg.

"St. Petersburg defended the city, with a total of 20,000 soldiers and 30,000 militiamen killed less than 10,000 enemies..."

Grand Duke Novgorod reported to Ekaterina with shame about his achievements in defending St. Petersburg, and the casualties ratio between the two sides was completely unbalanced.

"Although Gustav's legion is very small, as a northern lion, he only brings tens of thousands of people each time he goes to the expedition, and at most no more than 100,000, he is all elite."

Ekaterina knew that Gustav cherished the few populations of the Swedish Kingdom and basically took the elite military route. It was impossible to have hundreds of thousands of troops like the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

Gustav's legion was all professional soldiers, mainly high-level troops, and his military expenditure was also very high, so he repeatedly asked Attila for military expenses.

"Yums Chapter..."

Chu Tian cleared the battlefield outside St. Petersburg and found that many Novgorod heavy infantry died of axe injuries, which was somewhat similar to the damage caused by Haral's Varangi Guard.

He had not yet fought with Gustav, and Gustav met with Attila's envoy and left St. Petersburg in time.

According to the Grand Duke Novgorod, Olaf's Yums team had at least one thousand Viking Bearsmen, and their average grade seemed to be less than that of the Varangi Guards. However, the St. Petersburg defenders also killed four hundred Viking Bearsmen.

It is impossible to know how many Viking Bereaves there are in the Yums Chapter. It is said that Viking Knut the Great attacked England, and he seemed to have more Yums Chapter warriors.

"The two high men, Alexander, the King of Macedonia, sent envoys to invite the two emperors to command the army to attack the Huns' empire and capture Temujin and Attila alive."
